Mike the Pike

Ya TJ I am also a huge fan of Rush last time I saw them was in the early 80's the Signals album tour. My favorite album is 2112. Great pics man

WTG Bly and that is one fat fish Carole.My jaw just dropped and good job with the net Cliff . What a groovy night out .I had a feeling you guys were out. MTP

When you get it fixed start using it more often thats why this happened .It happens to all makes and models.Cable is probably seized and is going to cost you $$$$$$$$$$.Best of luck OH this has happened to me MTP

Ya I was just there its blank

Amazing how a strike like this one has such a domino effect.So sad this could do serious damage to our booming CDN economy.

Who is your fishing partner Don?So are you bringing th cozy Titantic or the Tracker Mr.Tracker? looking forward to seeing you Don add yourself to the row call in the hook ups section. MTP

Mostly all the brands are very good these days.I myself have a 2001 Honda 50hp fourstroke I have no complaints I have had nothing but reliability.I have had alot of success with Honda products cars,my current minivan and an old 1980 7.5hp 4 stroke all nothing but reliable time and time again.As for costly maitenance this is not the case for my Honda just change the engine oil when needed and change the gear oil before winter.Some say 4 strokes cost more in maintenance this is not at all my situation.My dealer sells Honda,Yamaha and Suzuki he tells me Honda's are the most reliable of the 3.My only beef with Yamaha is I needed an impeller kit last year for my 8hp 2 stroke kicker.Yamaha sells you an impeller kit without the impeller .Yup $25 extra for the impeller something like that will keep me away from yamaha .My dealer says they have an attitude problem.As for Suzuki had one a 55hp 2 stroke was not happy with it .My dealer says the new 4 strokes are reliable.I hit my prop in 2001 a prop shaft was back order from Japan for 3 weeks and the dealer says this is common with Suzuki. Nice thing about Mercury is no matter where you are there usually is a dealer close by. Would I buy a Honda again Hell Ya.I am 100 percent satisfied.The only thing about Honda is that they starting to update their technology after over a decade of leaving the motors as is.This year they updated the 75hp and 90hp engines.Most models still have carburators.Many of the newer motors(other brands) have all moved to fuel injection. The E-Tech sounds like a good motor .Nippissing swears by his. As for me I will stick with Honda the largest engine manufacturer in the world. Good Luck with your purchase

Kenny like Vance says they are a pain to haul around usually have less fishable floor space and if you don't have 4 wheel drive on the ramp this can be challenging trying to haul the extra weight out of the water.My first boat was a16 ft fiberglass Chaparel .Nice boat if I had it docked at a cottage but not the lake to lake boat I wanted.Now I have an 18ft Lund tiller and I don't miss the glass boat.Launching is a breeze.Kenny just go and finance one you can pay with terms like 10yrs or 15yrs.Go get what you need and what you really want a fishing boat (fish and ski) .at $3500 you are buying someone else's problems. Don't sell the 12ft tinny you will need that for camping when you can't bring the big boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck MTP

Your starting to make it look easier 007.Congrats on the new species. MTP

Wow nice fish Cliff.One question was the anchor down or up when the salmon started pulling.Nothing like having your own vessel when the crowds get too thick.Oh Carole nice job with the net MTP

Nice Bass 007 and by the way they keep getting bigger so when is the boat purchase. MTP

Nice report boys wow 50 smallies.I have to admit the video was making me sea sick but I did love the under water release shots.You really know how to turn your friend Patrick into a conehead though. MTP
